- Activities schedule
- No daily activity schedule is posted online; check upon arrival for current programming, especially if attending with children who enjoy structured events.
- Visitor experience
- Some families report emotional distress in children due to poor animal conditions (e.g., malnourished mare and foal); animals appear neglected and are kept in unsanitary or overcrowded enclosures; avoid if animal welfare is a priority.
- Weather-related closures
